METHODS: We analyzed the biopsy reports of patients from 9 AMICEN nephrology centers. We took note of their age, gender, ultrasound use, post-biopsy resting time, whether the kidney was native or a graft, number of glomeruli and indication for the biopsy. The kidney biopsy findings were broken down into four categories: glomerular and non-glomerular diseases, normal kidneys and insufficient material for analysis. Those patients diagnosed with glomerular diseases were further divided into having primary or secondary glomerular diseases.  RESULTS: We obtained 582 biopsy reports. The median age was 38 years (1 to 85). The number of glomeruli varied between 0 and 70 (median = 13.0). In total, 97.8% of the biopsies were ultrasound guided. The main indication was nephrotic syndrome (36.9%), followed by hematuria-proteinuria association (16.2%). Primary glomerular diseases proved to be the most frequent (75.3%), followed by secondary diseases (24.7%). Among the primary glomerular diseases, FSGS was found at a higher frequency (28.8%), while among the secondary diseases, SLE was the most prevalent (42.4%). Regarding prevalence findings, those for both primary and secondary diseases were similar to those found in the large Brazilian registries published thus far.  CONCLUSION: Glomerular disease registries are an important tool to identify the prevalence of such disease in regions of interest and can serve as an instrument to guide public policy decisions concerning the prevention of terminal kidney diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1806-9282.65.3.441","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,11]],"date-time":"2019-04-11T08:35:44Z","timestamp":1554971744000},"page":"441-445","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Most common histopathological patterns of the Minas Gerais Association of the Centers of Nephrology"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"65","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7923-1757","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Soraia Goretti Rocha","family":"Machado","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o de Deus Hospital,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4428-7686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thiago","family":"Quadros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Pernambuco,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6038-2501","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshimi","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o de Deus Hospital,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8393-771X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cec\u00edlia F","family":"Aquino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Minas Gerais,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8126-3026","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alba","family":"Otoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o del Rei,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7239-0413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"S\u00e9rgio Wyton","family":"Pinto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o de Deus Hospital,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"ref1","first-page":"39","article-title":"Padr\u00f5es histopatol\u00f3gicos das doen\u00e7as glomerulares no Amazonas","volume":"28","author":"Cardoso ACD","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Bras Nefrol."},{"issue":"4","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"309","DOI":"10.1159\/000167986","article-title":"Clinical utility of kidney biopsies in the diagnosis and management of renal disease","volume":"9","author":"Cohen AH","year":"1989","journal-title":"Am J Nephrol."},{"issue":"3","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"324","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9343(51)90169-6","article-title":"Aspiration biopsy of the kidney 1951","volume":"11","author":"Iversen P","year":"1951","journal-title":"Am J Med."},{"issue":"Suppl. 2","key":"ref4","first-page":"51","article-title":"Bi\u00f3psia renal: experi\u00eancia do Hospital Geral de Goi\u00e2nia","volume":"3","author":"Oliveira VS","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Bras Nefrol."},{"issue":"9","key":"ref5","first-page":"1255","article-title":"Knowledge of renal histology alters patients management in over 40% of cases","volume":"9","author":"Richards NT","year":"1994","journal-title":"Nephrol Dial Transplant."},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Glomerulopatias: patogenia, cl\u00ednica e tratamento","first-page":"100","volume-title":"Bi\u00f3psia renal","author":"Barros RT","year":"2006","edition":"2\u00aa ed."},{"issue":"3","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"890","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523-1755.2004.00831.x","article-title":"Italian Immunopathology Group, Italian Society of Nephrology.
